La Pine man dies after jump into Prineville Reservoir

A 28-year-old La Pine man died after jumping off Dinosaur Rock on Saturday, the Crook County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Deputies responded to the apparent accident near Prineville Reservoir in central Oregon around 3:30 p.m. Saturday after receiving a report that Christopher Brown jumped off the rock and had not surfaced.

Witnesses said Brown had climbed to the top of Dinosaur Rock, more than 100 feet above the water's surface, and made the jump. Deputies searched the area, but were not able to locate Brown.

A dive team later searched the water and located Brown's body submerged in about 65 feet of water. He was taken to a funeral home in Prineville.
